AW 2014 New Lip Products: byTerry, Lipstick Queen, Kevin Aucoin and butter LONDON

Judged by the amount of views of the last feature about the new AW 2014 lip products we all love a good lipstick or a gloss.  Considering  all the new innovative textures, gorgeous packaging and beautiful colours, it’s hard to resist.

This is why I’ve decided to introduce other new releases:

Lipstick Queen Silver Screen , £35/$50

No one could describe this lipstick better than Poppy King, brand’s founder:

“This intensely rich but wet formula, inspired by the slinky ladies of the silver screen, is a ground-breaking, industry-first. Silver Screen is a homage to Hollywood sassiness, if this lipstick could walk it would sashay. My most vixen lipstick to date!”.

I seriously love the packaging, and the colour selection. Well done, Poppy!

The shades are:  Come Up, The chic, vibrant baby rose.  Have Paris, The iconic scarlet red.  Made It, The mouth-watering deep wine. Play It – The exotically glamorous hot pink. See Me The head-turning, playful peach.  Stella, The show-stopping purple with a flash of shimmering turquoise. You Kid, The understated yet eye-catching nude.

Where to buy: Space NK, Space NK UK and John Lewis

Beauty Inspiration: Collistar Italian Beauty AW 2014 Makeup Collection

You know how much I adore  plum/berry lips and nails but seeing that everywhere now  makes me want to wear something different. And when I saw the promo image for the new Collistar campaign I just fell in love with it.

Besides the fact that it is elegant and beautiful,yet simple to re-create, I am sure that it [my love for the collection] has something to do with the fact that it was inspired by Italian beauties.

If you follow me on Pinterest, you’ve probably already noticed that I find Italian women absolutely gorgeous. Monica, Cristina, Mariacarla, Bianca, to name just a few of my favourites…

Actually all the products from this collection are named after a certain Italian beauty icon, and it is awesome when a brand pays a tribute to the country it is from.

I have  found a tutorial on Collistar’s channel where you can see all the products in action. And, did I mention that

Gucci Beauty Line Is Here: Preview of All Products

The most exciting new beauty launch of 2014? Definitely Gucci Beauty! Great news – it is already available from Saks and Neiman Marcus.

I was excited and a bit sceptical at the same time, the packaging looked tacky on the first leaked promos. Well, it looks a lot better on the official promos. Yes, it is all about logos, but that is  what we know Gucci for, after all.

And the video with Charlotte Casiraghi looks absolutely beautiful. I need want her nail polish and whatever she is wearing on the lips.

theBalm Nude Dude Eye Shadows Palette for Fall 2014

When I first heard that theBalm were about to launch a palette called Nude Dude, I actually thought it was a joke.  I highly recommend that you do not google “nude dude”,  as I did, trust me on this one. Now, I am hoping that I won’t get wrong kind of audience with such title…

But actually it is true!

Here is a close up. You get twelve neutral eye shadow shades. I really love the look of
